Do you have bad experiences with US workers, since you implicitly contrast them with immigrant ones?

Is that what you got out of it? Seems like some bias might have been brought to the reading, since at no point did they “contrast” US workers from what I see. They simply stated they are pro-immigration because they view them as beneficial additions to the US workforce? So the better question is why did you feel the need to inject such an argument rather than receiving what was actually said?
My experience working with a lot of international people (H-1B, etc) is just that in general the people I have worked with have been highly-motivated, hard working, and fantastic people to work with in general. Bringing more people like this into the country I think is just good for society and good for the culture. Any statistical disadvantage it may create for me (salary-related, job competition, etc) I am just not concerned about. I think these concerns tend to be overstated.
